American Hustle
(2013)

The cast stole the show.
Bradley Cooper and Christian Bale in one film together with Jennifer Lawrence, Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner? A beautiful line up of amazing actors are put in to one great film about Hustlers and Con Men, but really it's about the characters's personality that was more interesting than the main story.

The actual plot of the movie is good but could of been more intriguing if they added more action scenes to keep you entertained. But the film is worth watching just to see the actors play their parts amazingly, each one does a show stopping performance which they all clearly put their hearts into.

I believe that parts of the film could of been cut out to make the film shorter, and in my opinion, better, but it worth sitting there for that long just to see Christian Bale and Bradley Cooper's conflict they have between each other throughout the film!

Last Vegas
(2013)

The Hangolders.
I went to see this film the second day after release and i wasn't sure if it would be decent... but it was hilarious! It is The Hangover old people's edition with lots of old age jokes that kept me and the whole cinema laughing all the way through!

I can see why Robert De Niro and Morgan Freeman accepted this film because they were brilliant! I had no idea Freeman could play a funny role and Robert De Niro surprised me too with his great role!

I feel all ages will love this as it is clearly meant for everybody to watch. The only problem I found with it was that it had one of those cheesy childhood plots where they link it with when they are older ruined it slightly for me but it had to have some form of a plot so i didn't mind at all.

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues
(2013)

More Brick, More fun.
I loved the original Anchorman so I was excited to see the new one which I did... and I loved it! I understand lots of people are comparing it to the first one and they felt they didn't do enough to please them but sometimes you watch films for the joy and entertainment of them, something people seem to be forgetting these days. All I would say that is wrong with it is the last third off the film, it is seemed to me the wanted to make the film two hours+ long so they wrote what ever they could to make sure it was. It honestly felt like Will Ferrell bashed his head against a keyboard and used that as the ending...

OK, so we asked for more of Brick and that is what we got! i loved Steve Carell in this film even more than I did in the first one! he has more screen time and more funny quotes that made this film even better. Paul Rudd's character Brian had lots more screen time too, it seems that they gave the five main actors more screen time instead of just Will Ferrell hogging all the screen.

Loved the film, Loved Brick and loved the comedy.

All Is Lost
(2013)

Deep Blue Sea...
OK, so where can I start with All Is Lost? well lets start with Robert Redford...The character he plays in this films is hard as nails! his sleeping deck floods so and it's like he doesn't even care one bit, his boat gets destroyed and left stranded on a life raft and he only breaks down once!? He is definitely independent and doesn't give up at any cost.

Now that is out of the way, there is not much dialogue in this movie, he hardly talks because he is a solo actor in this on a boat in the middle of an ocean meaning it is a very quiet film as the only real noises you hear are natural which i didn't mind, it to me was a nice break from the sound of guns and screaming.

J.C. Chandor really made this movie quite gritty in its own way, the beat up old boat and the near enough silence makes you feel slightly claustrophobic.

All together it was a good film but would of been better if there was two actors on the boat so there was more dialogue.

12 Years a Slave
(2013)

Never give up hope.
This film is astonishing, Steve McQueen really grasped the reality of what it was like for slaves in that era. Ejiofor really played is role amazingly, and so did all the other actors that participated in this film.

12 Years a Slave is extremely disturbing as you are literally watching people being whipped and and treated inhumanly, sometimes I had to look away it was that upsetting! This film with no doubt in my mind one of the most upsetting but dramatically brilliant in every way.

If you haven't seen this movie you better drive to your local cinema and buy yourself a ticket to see this film!
